Re: sharing funds
I currently dont work, so no money goes into the account. I'm a student and a stay at home wife. It works for us because my hubby is Navy. Well when we got married I opened my own account. Got my own card etc. His account became our joint account. I can see what is put in there and what he spends, and 300.00 of it each pay check goes into my account, which with that I get groceries, gas for my car, emergancies and any "outings" we have. His pays bills and pretty much thats all we have enough for. He can't see my account, but he knows I will tell him whatever I buy. Mainlly its stuff for him. We have this level of trust in our marriage, and it works for us. I agree every couple is different. I think you should both, sit down and not be judgemental(not saying you are) and discuss it! Set up a financial plan and stick to it. Communication is the key here. Hope this helps and hope things work out for you.
